Unfortunately, in recent months, we are experiencing all the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic which has changed dramatically our lives.
Many people have been forced to work from home, others are working less and others have lost their jobs.
The entire world economy has suffered the damage caused by Coronavirus, especially small local companies and recently opened businesses.
Our beloved Google obviously intervened immediately to show his support for these companies and to offer profits advice to everyone, explaining how to support our beloved local activities that are the basis of our economy!
Obviously, who better than us Local Guides and our community can help with this support activity?
Examples of some posts for the support of local activities, published on social networks!
I particularly liked @mchomsky and @KatieMcBroom posts here on Connect!
If you’ve lost it or haven’t read it yet, you can find it here and here !
Seeing all these beautiful posts, I too was motivated to make my contribution and to present this post that I hope can also motivate you, who are currently reading, to make a contribution to support the activities!
But, you may be wondering: "How can I make my contribution to the cause?"
LOOK BELOW!
In my country, as soon as it was possible to leave the house, after the lockdown, many activities also reopened, and I decided to select some small businesses that needed local guide support.
These small businesses in my area stood out among others for the excellent services and products offered.
They proved their worth even in such a difficult period for them and I decided to show you some of them here!
Even a simple review or some new photos were immediately appreciated by the kind owners of these local businesses.
-BARBER CORNER
This is one of my favorite barber shops in the city, with a vintage look, high level products and a modern soul given by the young man owner Filippo, who decided to open this small business only a few years ago with courage and passion.

-CAFFE’ MISTRAL
It might seem like a simple bar like many others in the city but it is certainly one of the family activities most appreciated by me and others customers who are “pampered” daily by the kindness and professionalism of the people who work here.
“The substance before appearance” is the motto of this small local business!

-SU REU HANDMADE PRODUCTS
This is the typical unexpected family activity, which every tourist who visits Sardinia should test! It produces many delicious Sardinian typical products such as bread, cakes and fresh pasta, trying to combine traditional recipes with a modern look.

Supporting these small local businesses is crucial to contributing to their rebirth after such an economically difficult period.
We Local Guides can be one of the trump cards for the economic regrowth of all the companies put in crisis by this terrible and unexpected pandemic.
It could also be an opportunity to explore new places, meet new people and of course earn points for contributions posted on Maps!
So what are you waiting for? Earn points by helping people!
But remember: respect the laws that your government has decreed due to the pandemic from COVID-19 and if your country is still under lockdown stay
at home and go out only if strictly necessary. When you leave home, remember to always wear a mask, gloves and to respect the safety distance from other people. Always carry a bottle of sanitizer with you and wash your hands often.
Here in Sardinia the summer has started for a while and we are trying to enjoy it, safely, and of course to contribute to the economic recovery
of the premises in crisis, even with a simple review.
I wish you a beautiful summer (or any other season in your country now),stay safe and support local businesses!
